Hello PC, I am trying to dig in digital painting world, and want to spend some money on tutorials. I am completely new to painting. Maybe some of you could advice one good dvd, that will explain theory of light and color, and one dvd that will provide some basic sketching and painting techniques. I see a lot of amazing…
Everyone always says you need to have skin tone variations when you paint flesh. Subtle blues, red, greens 'n stuff. But how do you know where to put these colors? Do you just chuck them anywhere you think they look good? Or are there anatomical reasons for putting colors in certain places? I'm struggling a bit painting…
Hi folks, Wondering if someone could shed some light on vertex color painting. I've followed a couple tutorials, looked a the 3Ds max docs and generally tinkered with the Vertex paint modifier. Seems I cannot paint the colors on my mesh vertices, only the fill and erase tools work.…
Do any of the tools for painting on 3d models (Zbrush, 3DCoat etc) allow you to paint on a model that has a normal map shader on it, so you can visualize the final look more easily and paint a diffuse map that matches the normal map and such?

I may add lights though. I have never hand painted textures before and I'm definitely having difficulties so any feedback or critique…
I had a go painting custom alphas, love the new feature though I find it really hard to know exactly where I am painting on my textures, as I cannot see the texture beneath the alpha in order to have fine control over the painting process. Dont know if my workflow is correct, I'd appreciate if someone could explain or send…
Thanks scmanol! unfortunately I cant change anything for the print at this point but ill play with getting it less symmetrical for some more beauty shots. I just got this shot from the guys making my print! I can't wait to get it, pretty happy with how it turned out.
LEGENDS OF THE JUNGLE KICKSTARTER Hi again, I worked part of this year on a personal project that I wanted to see completed. It's a set of two dioramas with two figures each done at 75mm scale for miniature painters and collectors. It is nearly funded and has a few days left to get there! More details here in the link and…
